Suggest Treatment For Severe Acid Reflux

My 27 year old son has acid reflux symptoms. His diet is not good - burgers, steak, frozen pizza are typical. I also noticed his face looks puffy/lumpy recently (this seems new). It could just be the poor diet showing it's impact. He also sleeps a lot during the day. He takes a medication recently prescribed for ADD (although I don't think he has ADD). Just wondering what could be causing the puffy, lumpy look to his face (cheeks).
